In the other, I see a kick-@ss holiday makeup set — in this case, the new $59 five-piece Make Up For Ever All Eyes On You, which caught my attention when it screamed, “stellar value!”

It’s one of the new makeup sets now available at Sephora (doesn’t it seem like there’s a new one every other day?).

Four of the five pieces in the set are discounted and full-size. Purchased separately, the shimmery pinkish beige Aqua Cream #16, the two Aqua Eyes liners in #0L Mat Black and #21L Dark Gray and the tube of jet black Smoky Lash mascara would cost $82, so $59 represents a pretty good savings there.

And the cherry on top? — the fifth piece, a souped-up, sample-sized HD Microfinish Powder. That, and the surprisingly useful “Get The Look” tutorials on the back of the box, take this already good set to the next level.

You look gorgeous! There’s something about pinky-peach eyeshadow that makes everyone look well-rested and enhances the eyes in a more natural look. I love Make Up Forever for their unique eyeshadows, but I actually don’t have a lot from them yet. I think this set would be great. The pink shadow actually reminds me a bit of the Cover Girl cream shadow + primer in pink, only the MUFE shadow has more peach/beige in it.

I’m trying out UD Naked Skin (*gasp* I’m using a foundation other than Vitalumiere Aqua!) right now – so far I like it. I’ve been curious about the MUFE HD Foundation, but I’ve heard enough people say it’s better for oily skin to know it probably won’t work for me.

Thanks, my friend! I have to say…MUFE is one of those lines that isn’t flashy, but they do some really beautiful makeup. Have you ever tried their HD Foundation? I’ve been wearing it lately and really liking it.

I have tried their foundation a few years ago and I really loved it. I haven’t bought it recently because my husband thinks it’s crazy to spend that much money on foundation…Last time I was at Sephora I got a sample of the new YSL foundation and I am in love. Have you tried it? Hopefully Santa will bring it to me for X-mas although I also really want Chanel loose powder

Oooh! So I’ve been wanting to give that foundation a go. Good to know that it’s a winner. I have to stop by and get a sample…I just hope there’s a color that works for me, and that it’s good for dry skin.

GURL, that Chanel Loose Powder will change your life! I haven’t wanted to use anything else since I started wearing it.

I don’t have any of them, but that #16 looks so good on you, and I can see that shade working on a range of skin colors.

I relate to fussy muffin cats, have two brat cats who don’t really get along anymore >_> but they used to, I have photo proof of them snuggling. It won’t be possible to bring any more in… maybe that’s the one thing keeping me from cat lady-level catting? ;_;Tiffany Martin recently posted … Baviphat Apple AC Therapy Sleeping Pack Review

It’s a good all purpose color, that #16. You can wear it as a highlighter too.

Sounds like you’ve got a serious case of cat politics! I think that’s one thing Tabs misses about his outdoor life…thugging amongst the neighborhood toms. Sigh. Anywho, what are you kitties names? And what are they like?

I have two cats, Baby Mew and Kunoichi. I named them based on their personalities a bit, Baby Mew is the oldest but acts like a baby, and “Kunoichi” is Japanese for female ninja. Kuno is pure black and stealthy!

I feel like I’m talking about my kids, lol, but my two cats are both rescues; one was left outside by the highway (mew) and the other was abandoned without food and water in an evicted apartment (kuno). So sad!

Mew is totally spoiled but she polices Kuno. She no longer has survival instincts anymore so we have to be careful not to sit on her. She won’t run! She curls up in the most adorable ways, cute cat picture winner, this one right here.

Kuno is a little panicky but overall rather a fearless cat. She’s the one who gets into things, and she’s clever. I’ve trained her so I can ask her to come or go and she does for the most part. Cute, huh? Kuno has the saddest mewl because of the circumstances of her abandonment. It’s sort of a broken, quiet squeak. I hate to admit it, but it’s this pathetic adorable sound that I can’t resist.

As always you look gorgeous!
I like the dramatic shimmer version more, it makes your eyes really stand out and it’s not too dramatic (I would wear it to school, too ^^)
Ahh those kitties… So nice… I find it very relaxing to watch kitties sleep or play!
